This Baked Salmon with Avocado Mash recipe offers a delicious and healthy meal featuring perfectly baked salmon fillets paired with creamy, zesty avocado mash. It’s simple to prepare, packed with nutritious ingredients, and ideal for a quick yet elegant dinner.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Avocado Mash

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy clean-up.
  2. Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the natural flavors of the salmon.
  3. Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Mash Avocados: While the salmon bakes, peel and pit the ripe avocados. Mash them in a bowl, then mix in freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth with some chunky texture for extra bite.
  5. Serve: Remove the baked salmon from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top each fillet generously with the avocado mash, then drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top for richness and an attractive finish before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust seasoning in the avocado mash to your taste.
  • Use ripe avocados to get a creamy yet chunky texture.
  • Serve immediately for optimal flavor and freshness.
  • Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or dill for added aroma.
